This magnificent historic stone residence combines charm with high-end features, offering an elegant lifestyle and flexible accommodation options.
The property is accessed via a majestic tree-lined driveway, with some trees estimated to be between 200 and 300 years old. From the driveway, you enter the main floor, which reveals a graceful, classical entrance hall, a spacious living room, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen with central island, and two bedrooms, each with its own walk-in wardrobe.
The lower level is ideal for guests and includes a large entrance/living area, three bedrooms, two of which feature walk-in wardrobes and
en-suite shower rooms. This space could be converted into a self-contained apartment (subject to the necessary permissions), as it benefits from its own private entrance.
Outside is a luxurious summer kitchen and a relaxation area overlooking a 12 x 6 metre pool, surrounded by a terrace with breathtaking views of the garden, a fishing lake, and the surrounding countryside.
The property also includes two large barns: one currently houses stables, while the other-accessible via a separate entrance-offers excellent conversion potential.
Additional features include a large cellar beneath the kitchen/living area, a home office, and an attic. All of this is set on a beautiful plot of just over 3 hectares. A character-filled home, renovated with taste and great care.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
